4. Reports:

     Sheriff - Wasco Substation Community Policing – Lt. Kramer:  Absent.

     Highway Commissioner – Sam Gallucci:  Commissioner Gallucci stated February was as bad as January for plowing snow.  We had to be careful with salt use by mixing it with sand to make it go farther.  We just had our last delivery of salt and we will have enough.  We paid only $43.00 a ton which is a good price.  The road crew plowed and salted on 2/11, 2/12, 2/13, 2/14, 2/25, 2/26, 2/27, and 2/29 in Campton Township, the Village of Campton Hills, and the Village of Campton Hills in Plato Township; pushed snow away from intersections on Beith, Anderson, Welter, and Pouley Roads for safety concerns; spent numerous days and nights chasing snow drifts throughout Campton Township, the Village of Campton Hills, and Campton Hills in Plato Township; did road patrol throughout Campton Township and the Village of Campton Hills for ice, drainage problems, pot holes, and checking culvert permits; repaired damaged mailboxes and posts throughout Campton Township and the Village of Campton Hills; checked all Stop signs in Campton Township and the Village of Campton Hills on a weekly basis and replaced damaged or missing ones; continued to repair potholes with cold patch throughout Campton Township, the Village of Campton Hills, and Campton Hills in Plato Township; and continued maintenance on township vehicles and equipment.  The motor fuel tax maps have been revised to accommodate additional roads that have been dedicated to the Highway District in order to ensure proper motor fuel tax revenue.  For the 2008 road resurfacing season the following roads will be completely resurfaced with a 2” overlay of asphalt: Bolcum Road, Colt Drive, Mare and Foal Lanes, and Dillonfield. 

     Assessor – Alan D. Rottmann:  Assessor Rottmann stated the furnace in this building broke down and was fixed today.  We are reviewing the 2008 assessments.  He may treat this as a reassessment year and go out and reassess all properties because of the declining real estate market.  Clerk Johansen asked is there enough E.A.V. (equalized assessed valuation) increase this year to allow us to complete buying the open space bonds that were authorized by the last referendum?  Since interest rates are low, now would be a good time to do it if enough E.A.V. is there.  Answer was for any new bond issue, existing housing does not affect it, but new construction determines it.  We expect construction  to be down this year.

     Solid Waste District – Greg VanZandt:  Absent.

     Staff Update on Open Space – Jack Shouba:  Botanist Shouba stated we had a good volunteer workday on Corron Farm last Saturday. 

     Village of Campton Hills – Patsy Smith:  Village of Campton Hills President Patsy Smith stated the first meeting of the newly elected Campton Hills Board will be in May. 

     Village of Campton Hills Police – written report:  Patsy Smith elaborated on the written report by saying Nicos Restaurant had a burglary last night.  There have been at least 22 instances of mailbox bashing and three young adult males have been arrested.  Before you go out of town stop by the Campton Hills police department and fill out a form.  Our police will keep watch on your house during your absence. 

     Supervisor – Neal Anderson:  Supervisor Anderson stated this is the last month of our fiscal year and we are preparing for our Annual Town Meeting which will be Tuesday April 8^th at 7:30 p.m. in this room.  That means our regular monthly meeting will be pushed back to Thursday April 3^rd, at 7:30 in this room.  Each year we recognize and show our appreciation to our volunteers.  We look forward to a productive spring with the help of Terry Shouba our volunteer coordinator.
